The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1887-10-13

over which the President has Travelled,
rode in the vestibule train in readilses for
any emergency,
AT Plattsburg and other places til, people
were out in force, and though the trim did
not stop displayed their enthusiasm very
effectively. At a nameless crossing, where
a stop was required by law, two Or three
hundred were gathered, some of whom in
sudden impulse to get nearer, tangled
themselves in barbed wire fence, from
which they were freed by their friends.
AT ST. JOSEPH.
In the outskirts of St Joseph, C5ngress-
man Burns and Mr.. Hartwick, President of
the Board of Trade, boarded the train and
besought the President to make a longer
stay than the allotted half hour This he
refused with some earneStnesS to do. He
spoke of the delay at Omaha which, he
said, had almost determined him to give up
the stop at st. Joseph. Therefore, the gen
tlemen promised that the train should leave
on the schedule time. The train reached
st. Joseph half an hour ahead Of its time
The artillery, church bells and steam
whistles heralded its arrival. The town had
been filling during the preceding twenty
four hours, some $4,000 strangers having
been brought in by rail, and these, with
10000 natives, were all on hand Mayor
Doyle and the reception committee of 130
ladies and gentlemen received the President,
and, with the aid of the police, maintained
good order while the visitors were taken in
carriages. A line of vehicles more than a
quarter of mile in length car
ried the Presidents escort. The uniformed
secret orders of the town, the County
Democratic Committee and some other Or
ganiZations were on hand with brass bands
of various degrees of excellence. Hail to
the Chief melted to the Boulanger march,
which in turn gave place to Hail Colum-
bia," and this again succumbed again to
Hail to the Chief" A stop was made for
a moment when the head of the procession
reached the central square of the town.
The pupils of the Convent of the Sacred
Heart handed to the President a beautiful
floral flag, whose material was violets, car
nations and tube roses, while those of the
public schools gave Mrs. Cleveland a costly
silver basket filled with roses. The streets
were handsomely decorated in bunting.
A CRUSH AT THE DEPOT.
The throngs for the most part were or
derby, but at the station there remained a
crowd of curious people who besieged the
special train, and it took the best efforts of
the train attendants to protect it from
injury. When the party returned to the
train and attempted to board it there oc-
Cured another of those cTlshes which have
terrible, which is caused by the frantic at
tempt of 10000 persons moved by one inn
pulse to get into close quarters with the
President. 1t was work of PAIN and even
of danger for his fellow excursionists to
make their way to the train, a work in
which the committee and police rendered
but little assistance.
PRETTY SOUVENIR.
Among the souvenirs of the visit to st.
Joseph brought away by Mrs Cleveland
was one found in her car after the train had
left the station for Kansas CITY, It's envel-
opment was an elegant box of white satin,
delicately trimmed and artistically decora-
ted, bearing on its cover the letters ''F +.
c." Within was large corn-colored sachel
of finest satin, upon which was printed the
inscription, ''To Mrs. Frances Folsom Cleve-
land, St Joseph's society greets you with
a Salutation and benediction on this Oct IL,
1887. Following was legend stating that the
donors deem it not inappropriate on the oc-
caSion to point to the parallelism of circum-
stances of Mrs. Cleveland's present state
with that of the society's patron, Elizabeth,
Queen of Hungary
The train arrived in Kansas CITY on
time at S:15 o'clock tonight. A dele
CATION consisting of ten gentlemen
composing the Committee on Arrange
ments, headed by Z. H. Allen, proceeded to
Waldron, fifteen miles north of here, and

AT KANSAS CITY.
AT the depot and for blocks around an
immense crowd had gathered and roar of
cheers went up as the train slowly puffed on
the side nearest the street. The police ar
rangements were admirable and the party
were in carriages and on their way UP
Union avenue fifteen minutes after the

Union avenue and Bluff street to Sixth, out
Sixth to Broadway, to the Coates
House, at the corner of Tenth street, where
the guests alighted and retired to their
room for brief rest before the later events
of the evening. The Third Regiment, Mis-
souri, National Guard, and Kansas City
Light Cavalry, assisted by a number of
Democratic clubs of this city and from
neighboring towns, served as escorts to the
procession to the hotel and succeeded in
keeping the crowd, which marched along
on the either side of the carriages, Fin check.
Shortly after o'clock the President and
Mrs. Cleveland appeared in the parlors of
the Coates House, and the next hour was
occupied in receiving tho members of the
reception committee and their friends to the
number of 400. The reception was wholly
informal but badges of admission were re-
quired and there was no unpleasant crush

to their rooms the cheers of the crowd in
the street below caused them to appear on
the balcony They bowed in recognition of
the salute, and at 10;30 withdrew for the
night.
NARROW ESCAPE.
What might have been a serious accident
occurred just before the party reached the
hotel At Ninth street and Broadway two
cable trains were standing close to each
other. The cable had broken during the
day. and the strands had been wrapped
around with wires. The grip of the second
bar became entangled il the threads which
were wound around the grip so firmly as to
start the second train in motion. 1t
crowded into the first and pushed the car
into the thick crowd, injuring four people
seriously.
The Presidents carriage was only about
twenty feet beyond the track when this hap
pened, else his safety and that of his wife
would have been imperilled. The carriages
Immediately following had not reached the
track, so the accident wa confined to the
people who were in the jam.
